Trump Cancels $929 Million Grant for California Bullet Train

Like the Democrats are doing to Trump now or is that a different because it's Trump?

so tell me your list of things you think Trump should be criticized for? Originally Posted by The_Waco_Kid

I criticize Trump for:

1) having a group of Sycophants in all areas of staffing
caving on the Border issues.. gave up on the wall, is processing all these illegals and releasing them to rape, rob, mame, and steal

2) pretending to care about the deficit and excess spending, when like Republicans before him, he spends more, raises the deficit more, and will keep doing so

3) plays to the hands of Extremists via dog whistling

4) faking out the Churches for big support, even as he is a Greedy Philanderer, who was a big supporter of abortion until age 70, when he winked in opposition to grab Church support

5) bullshat the public, with Obamacare "repeal and replace", when repeal was all he wanted.

6) bullshat us about getting tough on China, Iran, and how we were "on the brink of war" with North Korea "when I got in office", and that threat is over.. all 3 are bigger threats now than ever.

So new levels of misdirection in Trump TDS mode. I'm still waiting for the this record breaking deficit spending you keep prattling on about while ignoring the Congress's that were actually responsible for it.

The wall and border security are certainly an in-process thing and 400+ more miles of wall have indeed been built and funded via Trump initiatives.

And WTF you are talking about with dog whistling, I have no clue.

As for abortion/etc. Didn't Obama teach you that positions evolve over time.

And regarding NK, there were many polls regarding how with Trump the US feels safer and more away from the brink of war then when Trump took office.

Feel free to criticize Trump on all of these, but don't get high and might like you seem to be that Trump is not making strides. That's sheer TDS...

But back to the actual OP, yes, it appears Trump is worried about out of control spending and lack of progress with Cali's bullet train debacle. The funding should be cut off and they should be required to pay back the funding received for a project not completed.

Do you disagree with that?

California is notorious for starting bullshit projects and then expecting others to pay the tab ....

1. electric/energy bills paid by Texans with a rate hike.
2. healthcare for their retirees on HUGE retirement plans.
3. forest fire suppression.
4. open borders and sanctuary cities and CALIFORNIA.
5. Now the "bullet" train to NO WHERE!

They saw the "big dig" in Boston and decided to climb aboard!

yes and no.. I don't think Trump is worried about spending in regard to the California Train debacle. I think it is a political get-back-at-you move more than anything. just like his Tax Bill that capped deductible taxes at 10,000, an obvious dig at High State income tax States, like California and New York, who vote for Democrats.

Why would Trump want to "get-back" at California or New York?

I mean, it's not like he ever lived in one of those states, is it?

I think he was just letting Pisslousy know what a fine job she's been doing colluding with him to help him win in 2020. PussBlasio the same. He just announced to give Trump a boost in the polls! He tried to help them out with more voters by sending more illegals to California, but they got all pissy about it.

Besides ... illegal aliens don't need any "bullet" train!!!! Everyone knows that!

Oh, may be you are one of the few who don't. Well here ....



No point in spoiling them!

I don't blame him, but that tax bill is a childish way to get back at those States. he should grow up and command respect outside of that 30% "base" he has.

why are you posting a pic of illegals at the border? I'm the one who wants to stop them, Trump is doing very little. I'm to the right of you guys on this forum, in terms of hard line stance against illegals.

So bluster aside, it sounds like regardless of the reasons for going after Cali for the Train debacle, you agree Trump is doing the right thing by going after them.

I would agree with you there.

There are sound arguments of equity and fairness justifying that $10k deductible cap. Why should the federal govt give up revenues and effectively force low-income residents of low-tax states to subsidize the chronic over-taxation of states like Cali and NY?

Trump can be childish, but you can't know the arguments and motives behind every provision in the tax bill.

Plus, if you want to criticize him for cutting taxes, why complain about a provision in the bill that effectively raises them?

I know Obama did that, because the Republicans blocked everything he tried to do.. Trump is following Obama's lead. it's about getting even. I don't say it's all Trump's fault, I say it's both parties.. but you guys here won't criticize Trump for any reason.
